Elections

So here in Soroti things have been pretty quite. Elections were on Thursday and mostly people seem to be waiting for the results to be announced today at 4:00pm. Main shops and banks are still closed and social media is still shut down but things are normal other than that.  I'm going to keep all opinions and most commentary to myself but there has been conflicts and clashes in other cities around the country between the main opposition and the ruling party/ military and police. Besigye has been arrested for the third time this week and it doesn't look like he is going to be released this time. This seems to be the thing that makes people the most angry. Please keep praying for peace. 
Here are a few news stories.
